Manufacturing, service and maintenance, and construction are some of the sectors that might be the first to adopt them.Smart glasses can provide a step-by-step guide on repairing an engine along with videos, making the job easier for technicians. Viewing 3D designs of buildings during construction and comparing them with actual buildings are also easier with smart glasses. An architect can compare original designs side by side with the actual building and analyze the progress of the construction.

According to the report, an increasing number of vendors are showing interest in developing smart glasses. This increased participation from several firms highlights the importance attached to smart glasses as a major medium for AR. This market is still in its early stages and will benefit significantly as more vendors enter. Vendor participation will result in increased awareness about smart glasses among customers, who will have several options to choose from.
